Celtics' Bench Shines in Final Win

0:00It's April 13th. Welcome to Boston Celtics News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Corey with the story. The Boston Celtics closed out their regular season on a high note, beating the Orlando Magic 1-13-108 at TD Garden, but with just eight players suited up. Stars like Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown sat out to rest, along with several others, forcing the bench to carry the load. Bayla Shireman led with a career-high 30 points, while Luca Garza and Ron Harper Jr. both dropped 27 each, all personal bests. Garza shown in only his fifth start of the year, hitting a huge three-pointer with 32 seconds left to seal it, Harper, making his first NBA start ever, massed that fire, and Shireman hustled for nearly 39 minutes. The Celtics finished 56 and 26, proving their depth even when playing for nothing in the standings. Fans are buzzing about this roster's versatility, showing why Boston's been dominant all season.

1:02The Magic, mostly healthy and chasing that seventh Eastern Conference seed, got outworked, despite the talent gap. It highlights how deep teens like the Celtics stay ready, no matter who's on the floor. Now the focus shifts to the playoffs, tipping off Sunday afternoon and home. Boston draws the winner of Wednesday's playing clash between the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando. This win reminds us the Greens bench is loaded, setting the stage for another deep run. Can't wait to see what they do next.
